Dear Confashion: How do I wear High-Waisted Jeans?


Yara: How do I wear High-Waisted Jeans?


A: This season everyone want to Channel their inner Modern Katherine Hepburn with the high-waisted trend. It’s all about proportions daaahling. it's actually very flattering to wear wide high-waisted pants to make the most of an hourglass figure. Just make sure to tuck a fitted t-shirt and a vest or a fitted romantic top (with frills if you like) to balance the look. If you feel it’s too cold outside, then complete the look with a cropped swing jacket or a capelet and high heeled patent platforms.

If you want to try the skinny high-waist look, then expect a lot of green envy from your peers and mall on-lookers as it’s tough to pull off this style and you need the have right curves honey (but not too much of them). Pair the skinny high-waisted jeans or pants with a loose tucked top and flats. Wear suspenders if you want to look daring.

How would you wear your high-waisted pants/skirts?

I think wearing a High-waist pants/jeans give the illusion of a flat tummy. But you can hide your tummy with a wide belt if the style of the pants allow to. Choose one that is made out of soft leather. Oh! and don't forget to wear Mid-hip Corset. Not only hides your tummy buy it also helps to camouflage VPLs.

Dear Confashions :

I am a 30 something male gym instructor working in one of the
hospital gyms in Kuwait.
I want to ask you this - How do I wear low waisted jeans?

She hasn't been looking good lately. :|

If the pants are wide, I think they'd help hip-py ladies hide their least fave areas..

Sorry, I'm not an expert in male fashion.

Agreed that this pic actually caused quite a hysteria in terms of "not a good style" for mischa. I agree that they should be worn if you have a flat tummy as they can elongate your figure..
but isnt it all about baggy/relaxed jeans now?
alexander wang, etc?

she isnt wearing them right. high waisted jeans with a cute plain shirt, or a cute ruffled shirt tucked in, with high pumps, cute simple round toe flats, or nice boots, is the way to wear them. That t-shirt just makes the whole outfit look messy. make sure the shirt is fitted, that way it shows your shape good...(esp if your wearing wide leg)
I have worn my skinny jean high waisted pants with a plain white fitted, tee, with a mid uper arm fitted sleeve. I paired that with a high black pump and black leg warmers the other day, and it came out adorable.
you have to just wear them right, other wise you would look like that micha picture.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
